GitHub - jamesbrink/nxv: nxv — Nix Version Index. A blazingly fast CLI for finding any version of any Nix package. nxv — Nix Version Index. A blazingly fast CLI for finding any version of any Nix package. - jamesbrink/nxv

I've wanted something like this for a long time:
github.com/jamesbrink/nxv
Basically it tells you the exact nix commit you need for a specific version of any package.

Chargerlab Charger, Battery, Cell, Power Bank, Gadgets News And Review

I love finding these random sites that are super specialized: www.chargerlab.com

Don't really know what I will do with this information, but I think it's cool that they do it.
Just wanted to look up the new apple charger

Actually I’m on Mac (with nix-darwin), but if I ever use a Linux system I think I would use hyprland
I used aerospace on Mac for a while, but that had some serious performance problems. They might have been fixed in the meantime but I haven’t tried it in a while

You should use NixOS so you can tell other people that you use NixOS btw (like me, btw)

But if you want to get actual work done I think Debian is a solid choice

filter is a bad name for the function. It should really be two functions: "keep" and "remove"

Amazing post, that was super easy to follow. Small suggestion: You can use config.services.tailscale.interfaceName for the trusted interfaces, instead of hard coding the name.

Screenshot of some rust code in neoVim. The hover definition for the type X509Version::V3 is open and showing that it's defined as "pub const V3: X509Version = X509Version(2)"

> how do u get an x509 certificate's version?
oh, easy, you just check the version number field
> oh nice, so-
if it says "1" then it's version 2, if it says "2" it's version 3. pretty simple.

random Kotlin thoughts:
- why keep the parenthesis for if/for/while :( I've been spoiled by go and rust
- String? == Option<String> and .let should really be called .map no??
- why have a million different ways to declare a constructor
- overall seems cool and better than I remember it

nvm I'm stupid.

day 227
I still haven't found a need for RefCell/Rc/etc.
One day I will find it. One day.

damn... borrow checker got hands

I‘m going to support our Systems Engineering chair to deploy/nixify some nvidia drivers… I mean they warned me, but now I’m scared

This is something that I know is technically correct, but hurts me on an emotional level

Thanks!

Uhm excuse me, that’s just called “being polite”

@nanami.codes dear Mrs Nanami, do you have suggestions for someone starting a new Kotlin/spring boot job next month? Any books or talks you could recommend? I’ve written a very small android app like 5 years ago, but that’s all the experience I have

screenshot of frame from the Star Wars the clone wars tv show. It shows a clone soldier that is talking into his communication device. The top text reads "We need back up"

me when the borrow checker is annoying me again

A screenshot from the movie "Star wars the clone wars". We can see three neat groups of clones in armor standing in formation.

me when I write rust

git config --global gpg.format ssh

is somehow deeply funny and satisfying at the same time

But in this case I would need to unwrap opt again before using it

Yeah, talking about Rust
I guess there's let x = match { None => return y, ... };

ngl I kinda forgot about it, but now I'm sad that's gone

let Some(x) = ... else {
return y;
}
is the most confusing and disgusting construct ever. And I hate that there's no better option (that I'm aware of)

clippy and I are now best friends

lib is pronounced "lie-b" as in "library"

so it's not "matplotlib" it's "matplotlieb"
or "liebuv" not "libuv"

follow for more pronunciation tips
